    Welcome,
    Even today the word Carborundum is tossed around in circles of conversation with regard to sharpening stones and industrial abrasives. There was a good chance that your father and your grandfather had items around the home that were made by this company. Follow the link below and enjoy an article written by Straight Razor Place member Martin103 on the history of the Carborundum Company.

    Always Reach for the Hamilton Beach (RIP Eddie)

    I've always wanted a pressure cooker like my mum had but my wife doesn't want to know. She thinks they are dangerous so I doubt I would be able to use

    My wife says that without a pressure cooker she wouldnt be able to make pinto beens at this altitude as they never seem to soften up. I guess if she boiled
